When you decide to go for a goal truly do that very thing. Most people try, dip their toe in, skirt the edge, pretend or just make excuses… or say “I would have done it BUT…” many years ago I read a breakdown of that word which I believe to be the most accurate “BEWARE the UNDERLYING TRUTH” which is the excuse which usually follows.
Begin to use words like immersion, obsession, momentum and tenacity and it them into action as they will seep under your son and positively affect the outcome.
I believe in being obsessive about goals, though I have learned that no matter the timeline you set things will inevitably crop up to slow your progress..: but no matter how much they slow you, keep some momentum, stay immersed, be obsessive me have them tenacity never come and push onward. I choreographed all the dinghy action and gun action in Mad Max Fury Road AFTER severing the femoral tendons from my leg and smashing my knee cap. Whilst out injured all I though of was I can’t walk so HOW ELSE can I continue to move forward, HOW ELSE can I make this all happen. Don’t ever dwell on what you CANNOT DO, always be thinking and moving towards WHAT CAN I STILL DO.
Remember those words and if you are laid up, start asking yourself “HOW ELSE”.
